Ratios Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the numbers of black dots to the number of white dots. Then explain the meaning. (Write this in your notes)

16
Ratios Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the numbers of black dots to the number of white dots. Then explain the meaning. When determining ratios, the order of objects in the question is the same order as the ratio. Since we are comparing black dots to white dots, black dots come first in the question. How many black dots are there?

17

20
Ratios Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the numbers of black dots to the number of white dots. Then explain the meaning. To reduce a fraction we can convert it to prime factors. black dots3 3 white dots6 = 2 · 3

21
Ratios Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the numbers of black dots to the number of white dots. Then explain the meaning. Cancel a number if it appears on top and bottom of the fraction. black dots3 3 1 white dots6 = 2 · 3 = 2 Remember 3 = 3 x 1, when we cancel 3 on top a 1 remains.

22
Ratios Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the numbers of black dots to the number of white dots. Then explain the meaning. black dots3 3 1 white dots6 = 2 · 3 = 2 What does this mean?

23
Ratios Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the numbers of black dots to the number of white dots. Then explain the meaning. black dots3 3 1 white dots6 = 2 · 3 = 2 What does this mean? It means the ratio of black dots to white dots is 1/2, 1:2 or 1 to 2. This means there is 1 black dot for every 2 white dots.

24
